"My lady!" Meleis calls out

Turning her head she see Meleis.

"Meleis Unnie!"Leonia Happily said as she run up to Meleis.

Meleis smile as she crouch down  "Have you had fun exploring?".

"Yeah"Lenioa answer hugging Meleis legs.

"You should be less fromal when you talk to me" Meleis said as she was lower and Leonia is the duke's adopted daughter.

"But I'm too used to it" She answered.

(In Korean there's the formal and not formal talk so in here Leonia talk in a formal way as a way to respect)

Meleis sweat drop "It's improper for a lady of the Boleoti Household to speak formally to one of her knights."

Leonia eyebrows furrow"But you work so hard to become a knight"

Meleis blush as her heart warm.

She kissed Leonia's hand she smiles "My lady, The Duke is looking for  you".

Leonia dread "Is he asking me to act pretty again?" She sweat drop.

Getting up "I think you'll enjoy this, though".

Lenioa flinch thinking that time.

Flashback

"What the hell is this!" Leonia yelled seeing a new room with a toy pony.

Celena just sweat drop 'so like him' she thought as her husband is on her side with no expression as his arms were crossed.

"It seems like they're really related" the maid whisper.

"She speaks just like the Duke" the other maid whisper.

"How are both of them so similar?"

Meleis had a sad smile maybe because she was happy for the Duke but sad for their Duchess.

"It's too grand~!!" Leonia said  to Philio as she approach Celena and Philio.

"You should've say than-" Before even finishing his sentence.

"Thank you miss!" Leonia smile.

Philio cross his arms "You say thanks to my wife but not me".

"Hmmp" Leonia crossing her arms "At least miss doesn't bully like you" glaring daggers at him.

Celena laugh.

Picking Leonia up rubbing their nose together.

Leonia blush, moving around to get out of her hold.

Celena put her down.

"Well if you don't then I have a request in return" Philio crouch down.

"Act pretty at least once a day" pointing at Leonia.

Celena slap his back and glare at him.

Philio just look at her with a 'what' face.

Leonia scorn her eyebrows furrow.

"What happens if I don't?" She ask

"Then we haven't been raising you properly."

"I won't kick you out just because you don't do it".

Celena just stay silent she wanted to stop them but she also wanted to see Cute Cute Leonia.

Leonia still have the same expression "You're a pervert, Aren't you Mister?"

" I don't know why miss married a ugly pervert like  you" she whispered

An arrow pierce his heart 'married a ugly pervert' clutching his chest

Celena laugh a little crouching down she pat. Leonia's head "When are you going to call me mom?" She smiles gently.

"I'll try" she said as she turn her head as her cheeks turn red.

End Of Flashbacks

"I don't it enjoy it, but.." Leonia said her cheeks were red as a tomato.

Remembering the time When she act cute Celena hug her tight that she couldn't even breathe but she blush as her chest were on her head it really feels like a softest pillow in the universe you will never want another pillow like that again.

Then after that The Duke told her to give her hand.

Confuse ,she hand her out.

Philip drop a strawberry milk candy, a prize for every time she act pretty.

"But, Why did Mister call for me?" Leonia ask.

Meleis look away, her eyebrows were furrow as she.clench her teeth.

Leonia touch Meleis cheek noticing the way Meleis look angry "Are you angry?".

Meleis calm down having a solemn look "they're bad guest".

"Why?"

"Because they're the people that hurt you , My Lady".

As they walk Meleis talk "His grace asked for you and Her Grace even agreed to it, But I'm honestly worried".

"I'm worried you might get your feelings hurt if you see them again, If you can't stand it, I'll take you to your room".

"I'll talk to her and his grace for you"

But the thought of her Grace saying 'She's strong, she's that child that stop My husband and had the courage to do so with no such fear, Even if you call her a child but that child has gone through a lot'.

Inside of the front house there people tied up.

Guards surrounding them.

Philio look at the documents as the wife look at there new prisoner with disgust on her face.

"What happened to the orphanage?" Philip ask Rupert.

"It burned down due to an accident" as soon he said that, the prisoners flinch

Continuing the sentence "We've told their authorities that everyone there died in the blaze".

'Although the only people that should die are those over here'

"it was truly a tragedy for both the kids and the teacher, Miss Connnie.".

Celena fake a tear "If only we have bought them over out territory this wouldn't happen".

"We could've saved them if only we'd arrive a bit earlier" But in reality they had saved them from the fire.

He look at the prisoners as his eyes glow bright red, burning the paper through his magic.

The prisoners sweat in fear and hot as the fire grew large and ash scattered.

"Miss!, Mister!".
